How can external users create links to my favorite wiki pages on jazz.net?


Nicolas Rouquette (1546) | asked May 25 '13, 5:20 p.m.
The jazz.net wiki seems to support saving links to favorites:

https://jazz.net/mystuff/#tab=library

How does this work for external users when there is no "thumbs up" icon in a page?
For example:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DesignManagement
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/VVC2013Q2Sprint4

I found the second one by luck when searching; it's an example of a page that's hard to find because it is not navigable from the main menu and it does not have any back links from places I would otherwise look for it.

I would like to save links to such pages but I don't know how.


On the left bar, there is a "Create personal sidebar" link; however, I don't have permission to access that page with the username credentials I use to login to jazz.net

Am I missing something?

Hi Nicolas,

https://jazz.net/mystuff/#tab=library stores library articles (different from wiki pages) that you have marked as helpful. 

I don't know of a built-in way to save your favorite jazz.net wiki pages.  What I do is save them in my browser's bookmarks.  When I need to search for a new wiki page, I usually go to google and type "site:jazz.net whatever my topic is" and I typically have success in finding relevant information.

Same here, also site:Jazz.net provides the best search experience from my perspective, even better than the advanced search on Jazz.net.

However, you can have your favorite library articles because I suggested it and you can probably do so as well by creating a request here: https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Community%20Feedback#action=com.ibm.team.dashboard.viewDashboard

Ralph,


Thanks for the link to the community feedback dashboard.

Just to be clear...

Are you saying you already filed a suggestion to add a "thumbs up" to all jazz.net wiki pages like this one?


With my user credentials, that page doesn't have a mini dashboard so I can't even use that mechanism to save a bookmark either. I have to save a bookmark in my browser which is OK but seems inconsistent with the rest of the jazz.net experience.

Nope Nicolas,

I suggested to be able to have favorite library articles. So if you desire favorite Wiki Articles, the development team has to come up with a new idea. You should be able to file an enhancement request for that with the link provided.
